Comment 112 for bug 93546

Well.. Simple thing would improve the situation for "most users".

1) A good global lock on .mozilla (just a lock file) that would just be activated whenever writing to a file.. and remove after. (actually letting parallel firefox-instances start up). Throw a big nice warning if it hits the point.

2) Show the hostname of the host the "other" running firefox is on in the dialog that pops up. (allowing me to go directly to the workstaion and shutting it down).

Remember that status at the moment is that it is just not possible to start firefox as the same user at 2 different NFS-clients.

1) Would work flawless for people moving around between different clients, since the lock would actually only be held by the firefox running "active".

.. then it could be improved subsequently ..
